| Summary: | Çiftlik is the one of the most important debate topics in Ottoman agricultural history. While
they are generally evaluated under the topics of landownership and legal status of peasants
in the context of centrifugal forces, as a commodity, the exchange of çiftliks in the real estate
market does not attract scholars’ attention enough. Data extracted from sale contracts in the
kadı records enable researchers to track changes in the profiles of çiftlik sellers and buyers
in a period of commercialization of agriculture. Learning what kind of socio-economic and
political capital owners are more interested in çiftliks ownership through honorific titles and
elkâbs helps to comprehend at least one dimension of transformation of Ottoman provinces
in 17th and 18th centuries. This article aims to describe the structure of çiftliks and their productive activities on the one hand, and on the other, to determine the motivations effective in
çiftlik sales by using sale contracts along with inheritance records. Thus, the reflection of the relationship correlated between proliferation of çiftliks and rise of the local notables to the
çiftlik market can be traced. Therefore, çiftlik sale contracts have the potential to add a new
perspective to çiftlik debates. |
